All of our personal losses, such as the death of a loved one, have financial aspects…
These may range from a severe reduction in family income because of a divorce or the death of a wage earner, to the complexities around an inheritance or other financial gain, to the need for someone who has never dealt with family finances to take over managing the money.
Whatever the circumstances may be, a common denominator is that survivors are faced with making money decisions and dealing with finances while they are grieving. There is nothing wrong with asking for help.
Grief is not a problem to be solved but a process to be lived through, whatever form it may take. It is a major transition. It’s important to reach out for help and guidance. A trusted friend might help with essentials like notifying insurance companies, organizing financial information and prioritizing tasks, and supporting you while you cope with pressing financial decisions that cannot be put off. Many financial therapists and financial planners are Certified Financial Transitionists (CeFT), with specific training and tools to help people move through the financial aspects of grieving.
